Here's the second of André de la Varre's SCREEN TRAVELER shorts I have seen. It's another of the series of travelogues that helped make up the 'selected short subjects'portion of a movie show, back in the day. de la Varre produced well more than a hundred of these from the early 1930s through 1957, with one outlier in 1963.Unlike the better-known TRAVELTALKS series, or the stuff that Jack Cardiff cut his teeth on, this one is in black and white. There's little of poetry in the narrator's prose, just an effort to avoid using the same word more than once. His delivery suggests that he is pausing at the end of each ine of typescript. Ah, but the pictures!That's why we go to the movies, after all: the motion pictures. We get to see two cities, Le Havre, where the principal occupation seems to be finding a good place to watch the ships come in; and the resort town of Etretat. The interesting stuff for me is the images of a pre-war Le Havre, much of which was destroyed during the Second WOrld War.
